Finally with the move to the new shop and all the holiday specials we have been working on I had some time to get some work done on my own car.
I was lucky enough to pick up a 2015 Mineral White M3 without any major imperfections.
Let's start with the interior clean up first.
We pulled out all the wrapper and a few of the decals on the glass. Did a vac and wipe down with a cockpit cleaner, followed by a nice leather cleaning and conditioning to prevent denim transfer. Glass was done as well as door jambs were sealed.
Here is a list of products used on the interior.

Leather cleaning and conditioning - even though the car is new I decided to clean with Leather Master Strong Cleaner followed with Leather Master Barrier to do some preventive maintenance to protect the leather from denim transfer.

Door seals cleaned and protected with 1Z einszett Gummi - great way to keep them fresh and new as well as during the winter months its keeps your doors from freezing shut.
